Meet the class of 2023. And in 12 years, try to remember how they looked today - when they were only 5 years old, full of energy and weren't bent over their cell phones texting their 23 BFFs.

The group of 14 are all five years old, except their elder classmate, Jaden Collins, who is six. They sat (or tried to sit) Tuesday for their first interview ever with a newspaper. They talked about school in general, about what they have learned in the past six weeks, what their favorite part about school is, and of course, who their favorite teacher is.

Tuesday morning’s Levy County School Board meeting began with members doubting what they were hearing and ended with a unanimous vote to move forward on a new program aimed at improving reading skills by exercising the brains of students.
